Canterbury's history stretches back to the earliest British settlements. Under the Romans it became a strategically important town and subsequent centuries became the center of Christianity in England following Saint Augustine's mission to the Anglo Saxons. The cathedral which still dominates the city has witnessed centuries of momentous change in the country's history, including the murder of Archbishop Becket in 1170. The shrine became a pilgrim destination, celebrated in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. In later centuries industries came to Canterbury, not least silk weaving brought by Huguenot refugees, and although the city suffered significant losses during bombing in the Second World War, much of its heritage has been retained alongside new developments. Today the city attracts many visitors to its festivals, markets, shopping, theatres and musical events. Celebrating Canterbury chronicles the proud heritage of Canterbury, its important moments and what draws so many to this histori

William Cobbett (1763–1835) was an English farmer and political reformer. He is best known for his Rural Rides (1830), also reissued in this series, which documents the life of nineteenth-century British agricultural workers and calls for social change. In 1816–7 Cobbett campaigned energetically for parliamentary reform, but when new anti-Radical legislation was passed he fled to North America and settled on a Long Island farm. This book, first published in 1818 and reissued here in its second edition (1819), contains Cobbett's account of his year in exile. It describes the climate, soil and crops he observed and the vegetables he grew, as well as the economics of farming in America. Part 2 discusses American customs, laws, and religion. Part 3 contains a description of the mid-West by Thomas Hulme, followed by Cobbett's rebuttal of Hulme's view of the 'Western Countries' as a desirable destination for emigrant British farmers.
